v0.5.5LATEST
Screenshots on your shortcut
A fast, configurable screenshot shortcut that stays local and follows the same clean organization as replay clips.
New
- Added a separate global screenshot shortcut, set to Ctrl+Shift+F11 by default.
- Both replay and screenshot shortcuts accept single keys or Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Win combinations.
- Screenshots save as PNG files using the same game-aware folders and editable naming rules as clips.
Capture
- Screenshot capture works while the replay buffer is running or paused.
- The active GPU capture session is reused while recording to prevent black images and avoid extra capture overhead.
- Screenshot names are collision-safe and never overwrite an existing image.
Startup repair
A focused hotfix for the launch failure after updating, plus sharper artwork throughout the installer and updater.
Fixed
- Fixed the interface crash that could happen immediately after updating to 0.5.3.
- Made the update progress binding explicitly one-way so the window can load reliably.
- Nested startup errors are now clearer in the local diagnostics log if another issue appears.
Polish
- Rebuilt the installer and updater with a dedicated 2400 by 1260 Flashback poster.
- Kept the high-resolution updater artwork separate from the lighter website preview image.
Updates without the hassle
A safe, understandable update flow inside Flashback, backed by a proper release feed and a changelog that says exactly what changed.
New
- A compact update control in the sidebar and a full update card in Settings.
- Clear checking, download, verification, and restart states with real progress.
- A public changelog and versioned Windows update feed on the Flashback website.
Safety
- Update checks run only when requested; Flashback does not poll in the background.
- Velopack verifies the downloaded package against its SHA-256 checksum before installation.
- The replay buffer stops cleanly before the transactional update and Flashback reopens afterward.
Polish
- Portable copies get a direct installer fallback instead of pretending automatic replacement is available.
- The release pipeline now refuses to stage a website update until its changelog entry exists.
A sharper identity
A new Flashback mark, cleaner empty states, and a detailed visual pass across the app and website.
Identity
- Replaced the app, taskbar, tray, installer, website, and social-preview artwork with the new Flashback logo.
- Rebuilt every Windows icon size with transparent safety padding so no square corners leak through.
Capture
- Added a 240 FPS capture option for hardware and systems that can sustain it.
- Kept replay capture available on the desktop when no game is open.
Library
- Cleaned up the no-clips layout and open-folder alignment.
- Video thumbnails are generated in memory instead of leaving image files beside saved clips.
